An object of the present disclosure is to provide a noble metal vapor deposition material for use in a vacuum vapor deposition method capable of suppressing the occurrence of the bumping phenomenon during vacuum vapor deposition. Provided is a vapor deposition material composed of a noble metal, wherein, when a surface area of 50 m50 m of the vapor deposition material is analyzed using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Fe is less than 10 wt %, and when analysis is performed using ICP atomic emission spectroscopy, Fe is 10 wtppm or less.
